About this book

An instant New York Times bestseller! Nothing compares to the physical chemistry between an immortal and his life mate-or to the spellbinding thrills in a new Argeneau novel by New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands . . . A simple promise to protect her friend's infant son has turned Allie Chambers' existence upside down. Caring for-and feeding-an orphaned vampire baby has been tricky enough. But as little Liam grows, so does his appetite. He needs more blood than she can personally supply. And when her attempts to steal from a blood bank go awry, Allie wakes up surrounded by doctors, cops . . . and the gorgeous, mesmerising Magnus, who she can neither trust nor resist. Magnus never expected to find his life mate breaking into a blood bank. Clearly, Allie is already entwined with his world-in deeper, more dangerous ways than she realises. A band of vicious rogue immortals is in pursuit, and Magnus' first task is to keep her safe. His second: to awaken her to mind-blowing pleasure, and hope she'll accept the life, and the passion, that only he can offer.

Immortal Born is the 29th novel in Lynsay Sands' popular Argeneau series, a paranormal romance that blends humor, suspense, and steamy passion. The story centers on Cassian Argeneau, an ancient and powerful vampire, who finally meets his life mate, Joy Shaugnessy, a human who works as a private investigator. Their fated connection is complicated by a dangerous conspiracy involving rogue vampires and human hunters, forcing them to navigate a perilous world while battling immediate threats and an undeniable attraction. As they uncover secrets and fight for their lives, Cassian must convince Joy to embrace a new, immortal existence with him.

He'd waited centuries for her, and now that she was here, he wasn't letting her go.

Key themes

Love and Destiny (Life Mates)
The central theme revolves around the Argeneau concept of 'life mates,' an undeniable, fated connection between two individuals, often one immortal and one human. This theme explores the overwhelming nature of such a bond, the challenges of accepting destiny, and the profound joy and security it brings. It questions whether true love is a choice or a preordained path.
Immortality and Humanity
This theme explores the contrast and eventual merging of immortal and human existence. It delves into the advantages (power, time, family) and disadvantages (loneliness, danger, adapting to change) of living forever. It also examines what it means to retain one's humanity and individuality when faced with an eternal, supernatural life.
Family and Loyalty
The Argeneau series consistently highlights the strength and importance of family bonds. This theme emphasizes the unwavering loyalty among the Argeneau clan, their collective support in times of crisis, and how new members (like Joy) are integrated into this powerful, protective unit. It demonstrates that family extends beyond blood, encompassing those bound by love and shared destiny.
